FRANKIE COSMOS<br />
Next Thing<br />
I can’t do anything, when I listen to<br />
Frankie Cosmos, other than smile.<br />
They just make me happy, and even for<br />
reactionary old misery-is-my-middlename<br />
indie fans of an olden-daze<br />
school, that is still quite a cool thing to<br />
find about yourself.<br />
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not about<br />
to tell you that they are a twee,<br />
Nutrasweet kind of alternative band, that<br />
they write meaningless songs and are<br />
instantly forgettable.<br />
Indeed, it is the total opposite, the<br />
songs are strong once you scratch the<br />
surface and the jangle of guitars is ‘60s<br />
Fender short-scale, but still carries<br />
authority - and I’m trying hard to<br />
describe how much I like them.<br />
I guess a simple way is an example,<br />
back in the olden days the Cardigans<br />
produced the perfect pop album Life<br />
way before Gran Turisimo and<br />
heavier-MTV-guitars, and it too could<br />
make me smile, and as a<br />
consequence it has stayed with me<br />
forever.<br />
And I think the truth is that Frankie<br />
Cosmos will do that for your life, as in<br />
the same way that the Throwing<br />
Muses or Belly will forever have a<br />
corner of the world painted for their<br />
glory, Frankie Cosmos will too.<br />
I think you’d enjoy this one, give it a<br />
go. Check them out Here.
